Boarding
Daily Needs
Allowance
The school recommends that students be given no more than $25 per week for incidental purchases and weekend entertainment. The school store will cash student checks at designated times. During Orientation, the school will help students open checking accounts at local banks. Students are responsible for these accounts—repeated or deliberate occurrences of bounced checks may lead to checking accounts being closed.School store
Located in Kellas basement, the school store is a hub of activity from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with extended hours during times of peak demand. Whether you are in need of a snack, a warm smile, or a cup of hazelnut coffee, the store’s proprietors, Suzanne Thurber and Kathy Fiaschetti, have it all.Dining
Kellas dining room serves both boarding and day students throughout the week. The kitchen provides three meals each weekday and brunch and dinner on weekends. Meal hours are as follows:
Weekdays
Breakfast: 7:00 a.m.—7:55 a.m.
Lunch: 11:15 a.m.—1:00 p.m.
Dinner: 5:30 p.m.—7:00 p.m.
Weekends
Brunch: 8:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m.
Dinner: 5:30 p.m.—7:00 p.m. (unless otherwise noted
on the Weekend Schedule)
To satisfy late-night or weekend cravings (when the school store is closed), juice, soda, and snack machines are located near the store. Students may also order in from a variety of take-out and delivery options in the area.
No dishes or eating utensils may be removed from the dining room. Students should bring their own mugs if they wish to take something to drink from the dining room. At no time may food (other than fruit) be taken out of the dining room. The kitchen itself is off limits to students, except with permission from the director of dining services.
Given that such a large number of people eat together, courtesy and consideration must be exercised by all. Dress in the dining room during the week should adhere to the dress code. Pajamas (in good taste) are permitted at brunch on weekends. Students who opt to venture into the dining room without proper attire will be asked to leave.
Laundry Room
There are washers and dryers located in Sage basement. Students are responsible for doing their personal laundry or taking their dry cleaning to the local cleaners (within a short walking distance from EWS).
